Aleksandr Sheshukov

Aleksandr Sheshukov came into Day 3 fourth in chips, but after both Aleksandr Denisov dropped off the pace, he's picked it up and is now well into seven-figure stack territory. However he's still yet to catch Viktor Ustimov who, having taken chips off Denisov at the start of the day, has improved further.

Ustimov has a good record here in Sochi, finishing 42nd in the EPT Sochi Main Event last year and enjoying success at other festivals here.

Meanwhile, Sheshukov finished 34th in the EPT Monte Carlo Main Event last April, and will be looking to improve on that mark with just 50 players remaining in the Main Event here at Casino Sochi.
